Thanks Shaggy. I'll get another shot at some point. With some more experience and persistence, I'll get it.

Your interview sim could be in almost any of our devices. I know the MD11 FBS and 767 FBS are used a lot, but you could also use the 727, DC8, or 757 full motion sims (IF there's any open time). I don't think the a300 sim is used much, unless the applicant is fluent in Frenchie, of course.

Thanks for the replies. I have a buddy going next week. I was just wondering what they have been using lately (ie. last few weeks) if anyone knew.

tell him to make SURE if he is in the fixed trainer to be prepared for the pitch sensitivity and don t forget after takeoff, approach, just tell them what he is doing the entire time. it is hard when you are used to having crm. just a thought
